The hands of Jesus reveal His power and His love—hands that created, healed, and still reach for us today.

Tithing is God’s plan to fund His church and keep Him first in our hearts. It reminds us that everything we have has been entrusted to us by Him, and it calls us to steward our finances in a way that honors His kingdom. Through this principle, God provides for His church while shaping our hearts to live with faith, generosity, and trust.

God has entrusted each of us with more than we realize—our resources, our time, even our words. Everything we hold belongs to Him, and He calls us to manage it faithfully. But what does it mean to steward those things well?

Spiritual growth doesn’t happen by chance. It comes from choosing the right places, the right people, and the right moments that lead us closer to Christ.

We've been talking about spending time with God so that we can truly know Him more and become the person He wants us to be.

In this week's message we start talking about what we can practically do to make that time with Jesus actually happen.

So often we try to change ourselves through discipline—and while discipline has its place, true transformation comes only from God. Scripture reminds us that we cannot bear fruit on our own; it’s only when we abide in Him that real change begins to take root. As we stay connected to God, our lives are transformed, and we naturally grow to reflect Him more and more.

There's something missing from our contemporary Christianity. We've become busy and have lost the practice of spending extended amounts of time with God. We need to get back to "Just a closer walk with thee", as opposed to "If I have time."

In a world where communication is increasingly filtered through screens and algorithms, this message explores the tension between God’s embodied design for connection and our disembodied digital lives. Through personal stories, biblical truth, and cultural insight, it reveals how technology can both bridge and break the communion and fruitfulness we were created for.

Peace can be hard to find in our world, but the peace Paul writes about is far greater than anything the world can offer. God gives us a peace not like the world gives—a peace that surpasses all understanding.
